Two studies were performed to determine the best medium for the isolation of anaerobes from vaginal secretions. In the first, three different medium bases (brucella, Centers for Disease Control [CDC], and Schaedler) were compared semiquantitatively for ability to support the growth of gram-negative anaerobes from vaginal fluid. Media were supplemented with laked sheep blood, kanamycin, and vancomycin. The brucella base agar formulation supported the growth of anaerobic gram-negative bacilli better than either the CDC or Schaedler base agar formulation. In a second study, nonselective brucella and CDC base sheep blood agar were compared for ability to support the growth of anaerobic gram-positive cocci. Anaerobic gram-positive cocci grew in higher concentrations on CDC base agar than on brucella base agar. On the basis of these observations, we recommend that a CDC base sheep blood agar be used for the nonselective plate and a brucella base plate supplemented with laked sheep blood, kanamycin, and vancomycin be used for isolation of gram-negative bacilli in studies of the anaerobic flora of the female genital tract.
